This seven-acre island is one of the highest points on the Connecticut shoreline. The island was formerly a private estate and still contains several small buildings from this time. Begun informally as Ascension Yacht Club in 1946, the island was purchased in 1952 and the name was then changed to Sprite Island Yacht Club. The club can accommodate a maximum of 150 memberships and boasts many members who have spent a lifetime on the island, from their childhood years to today.
